Safety When Performing Maintenance
Some of the most important safe ty precautions are given here.
However, we cannot warn you of every  conceivable hazard that can arise in 
performing maintenance. Only you can decide whether you should perform a given 
task.
• To reduce the possibility of fire or explos ion, keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames 
away from the battery and all fuel related parts.
• Never leave rags, towels, or other flammable objects under the hood.
u Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite them, causing a fire.
• To clean parts, use a co mmercially available degreas er or parts cleaner, not 
gasoline.
• Wear eye protection and protective clothi ng when working with the battery or 
compressed air.
• Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is poisonous and can kill you.
u Only operate the engine if th ere is sufficient ventilation.
• The vehicle must be in a stationary condition.
u Make sure your vehicle is parked on le vel ground, the parking brake is set, and 
the engine is off.
• Be aware that hot parts can burn you.
u Make sure to let the engine and exhaust system cool thoroughly before 
touching vehicle parts.
• Be aware that moving parts can injure you.
u Do not start the engine unless instruct ed, and keep your hands and limbs away 
from moving parts.
